Very nice! Please share more info about your setup with us.
Re: Just a couple of pics...
My tank is a standard 4" * 2" * 2". It is running a 3" sump using the anoxic filtration system with a 1320gph pump. Bit hard to see in the pics but there is 16 discus in the tank so it is a very stocked tank. Unfortunately my first batch of discus ( the white butterflies) didn't grow as well as I had liked, I have since found that the Bin I had used for water storage must of been what was stressing them out. Now my 2nd batch (the turqs and reflection deeps) are growing nicely. I also have a 2nd pvc filter I created on the right, this is full of kitty litter. I added that filter so I can use it to seed tanks in the future.

Very interesting set up. If you have time to do a really indepth set of photos and info on your system I think it would make a thread.

Re: Just a couple of pics...
I was a bit hesitant to share pics of my sump, and heres why https://imagebin.ca/v/44Pi69TbkoG9 I know, it's a complete mess, but its functional. In there I have 6 BCB's, however to get them out because their so crammed in their sometimes I have to tip them on their side and some spills out, hence why theirs kitty litter spilt inside my sump. I have a DIY overflow, which I litterally put together a couple of hours before going away on a holiday, hence why its all unpainter. That just leads to a filter sock, which is kinda just crammed behind all my BCB's. I also have a hang on back filter with a sponge and some carbon and a little seachem purigen. Finally their is a OF Hydra filter which I haven't actually changed the cartridge in it for about a year, so way overdue to do that LOL. I know its not the prettiest setup, it was neat and tidy when I first set it up but its kinda gotten pretty messy since then.

lol.. You probably never saw a pic of my fishroom before I tore it down. A good friend of mine described it as "ordered chaos" :)

Just dropped by to say that, that tank will hold exactly 0.07 gallon ;)
Re: Just a couple of pics...
Just thought I would share a quick update on my discus with the injured dorsal fin. I was going to post this on the contest however I seem to be having trouble uploading pics to the forum. anyway, here is before https://imagebin.ca/v/44DHiitUbsNh (photo taken on the 5th) and after https://imagebin.ca/v/44gDsOP9flXz https://imagebin.ca/v/44gETXwvdce0 (photos taken tonight, on the 9th). Sorry about the blury pics, he didn't seem to wanna co-operate and just wasn't facing in the right direction most the time.
Re: Just a couple of pics...
Those are some nice fish!
